Synopsis

St. Basil And His Rule: A Study In Early Monasticism is a book written by Ernest Frederick Morison and originally published in 1912. The book provides a detailed analysis of the life and teachings of Saint Basil, one of the most influential figures in early Christian monasticism. Morison explores the historical context of Basil's life, examining the social, cultural, and religious factors that influenced his development as a monk and theologian. The book also delves into the specifics of Basil's Rule, a set of guidelines for monastic life that he developed and that became widely adopted in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Morison provides a thorough analysis of the Rule, examining its theological underpinnings, its practical implications for monastic life, and its impact on the wider Christian community. Throughout the book, Morison draws on a range of primary sources, including Basil's own writings, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced portrait of this important figure in Christian history. St. Basil And His Rule is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian monasticism and the development of Christian theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
